Moitrisanjog Society conducts monthly community support group meetings to address the unique challenges faced by the transgender community, promote mental health, and enhance child education. These meetings provide a safe space for transgender individuals to discuss their gender identity, expression, and navigate a cisnormative society. With a trauma-informed approach, the support groups offer resources tailored to their needs, helping them cope with discrimination-related trauma and fostering a sense of empowerment. The meetings also aid individuals facing domestic violence, providing a platform to share experiences and build connections. Moreover, these gatherings assist unemployed men and those struggling with addiction by offering job opportunities and support to overcome addiction.
